What is Geneva Convention exactly❓

A series of treaties concluded in Geneva between 1864 and 1949 are together called Genva Convention and has the following objectives:

  • Immunity from capture and destruction of all establishments for the treatment of wounded and sick soldiers and their personnel
  • Impartial reception and treatment of all combatants,
  • Protection of civilians providing aid to the wounded, and
  • Recognition of the Red Cross symbol as a means of identifying persons and equipment covered by the agreement.

All major countries in the world – including India and Pakistan – are signatories of the Geneva convention which advocates the humane treatment of soldiers and/or civilians captured. While this is usually in times of declared war, and India and Pakistan are currently not in a state of war even if tensions are high, the third Geneva Convention states that it is applicable even during armed conflict.

How it works ⁉

Preparation of Leather Cricket ball : A cricket ball is a hard, solid ball used to play cricket. A cricket ball consists of cork covered by 4 pieces of cow leather. This is sewn to make the seam. The white ball needs a lot of coating, which makes it heavier than the red and pink ball.

White balls came into existence solely based on visibility. When a match went on for longer durations, the red ball was less visible, as it became a little brownish in the yellow floodlights, which was difficult to spot on the pitch. Whereas, the white ball is more polished and visible in the dark.
